1. SCOPE 1.1. Identification 1.1.1. This document specifies requirements for the Land 125, Phase 3B, Soldier Combat Ensemble

(SCE) to be procured to satisfy a capability need identified by the Department of Defence. 1.2. System Overview 1.2.1. The SCE incorporates elements of combat clothing, personal protection and load carriage.

While primarily focussed on providing protection to individual combatants from physical threats and the environment it facilitates efficient means for individuals to carry Mission Essential Items (MEI) in a close combat environment.

1.2.2. The complete SCE is comprised of: 1.2.2.1. Combat clothing such as the combat uniform, combat footwear, knee/elbow pads, combat

gloves as well as field outer wear including wet and cold weather clothing; 1.2.2.2. Protection systems such as body armour, extremity protection systems, combat helmets as

well as ocular and hearing protection systems; and 1.2.2.3. Integrated load carriage systems including load carriage pouches, field packs and Platforms. 1.2.3. This document is limited to the integrated load carriage systems comprised of the Platforms,

Packs, Pack Bags and Pouches of the SCE. 1.2.4. The Commonwealth has extensively modelled the proposed capability and performed

exercises with limited capability demonstrators. Experience with these models has been used to refine the requirements in this specification.

1.2.5. There will be no planned maintenance regime outside that of User maintenance activities. A ‘repair by replacement’ maintenance schedule for this equipment will be instigated.

1.3. Document Overview 1.3.1. This specification details the minimum acceptable standards of functional and performance

requirements for the Platforms, Packs, Pack Bags and Pouches of the SCE system and the means by which satisfaction of those requirements will be verified.

1.3.2.

ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA

1. Indicative anthropometric data for the Australian Army population is provided in the tables below.

2. Male data in Table 1 below has been drawn from the Darwin Survey reference [1]. This

survey consisted of 371 fit for operational duty males aged 18-53 years. Note, not all measurements for males are available for females.

3. Female data from the Darwin Survey was limited; so, it is recommended that female

data is sourced from DEF STAN 00-250 reference [2]. This data is reproduced in Table 2.

4. All data in Tables 1 and 2 refers to unclothed and unshod persons. Before applying

anthropometric data to any particular problem, it will be necessary to add an appropriate correction for clothing, Table 3.

5. The combat and cold weather clothing data in Table 3 is reproduced from DEF STAN

00-250 reference [2]; and, is only intended as a guide. Table 3 body armour data is not available and will be compiled from future DSTO trials.
